Ten Facts about the Next Generation
A/N: Hi everybody! I know you've seen a lot of this type of fic already, so I thought an explanation might be in order here. I read a LOT of Harry Potter fanfic, mostly next-gen, and I've got a pretty good idea in my head of what each of the characters are like. As a result I've got a lot of story ideas swimming around in my head but I haven't really been inspired to sit down and write one just yet. So this is basically just to sort out all the ideas I have and kind of standardize what I think the characters are like before I really start writing them. If at any time in the future I come up with an idea that contradicts this information I'll come back and re-post it because I want all my stories to be pretty much consistent.
As I said before, this is my first fic, so I would love to see some reviews.
I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, you'd know, because there'd be at least twelve books.
I'm going to go through all the canon characters in order of age, and maybe add some OCs later.
Chapter One: Theodore Remus Lupin
Born April 7, 1998
He was a Metamorphmagus like his mother
It was his favorite thing about his appearance. He loved turning himself into a stranger and scaring his grandmother when they went out shopping, or making his hair red at Weasley family gatherings and watching people look right past him like he really was one of the cousins. By the time he was older, though, turquoise had become his signature hair color, although he still changed it occasionally when the mood struck him. He never bothered to try and control his eye color, so it changed constantly according to his mood—bright gold when he was happy, deep gray when he was sad and scarlet on the rare occasion when he felt angry.
He never became a werewolf, but he did have some wolfish tendencies
Like Bill Weasley, he always preferred his steaks on the rare side. And he did get rather cranky come the full moon. Other than that, however, he was generally much happier and healthier than his father had been. Lycanthropy didn't take his toll on him the way it had on Remus.
He was extremely proud of his parents
Teddy loved hearing stories about Remus and Nymphadora's experiences in the war and everything they had done. It made him proud that he was the child of heroes. He still missed them tremendously some times, but when his grandmother and Harry reminded him that they had died to create a better world for him, he felt better.
He loved having Harry as a godfather
Andromeda was kind, but strict; Harry was fun. He gave Teddy presents and took him to fun places, like to the beach and Muggle amusement parks. He was always made to feel a part of the Potter family. He later realized that Harry was trying to give him the childhood he'd never had, and loved him all the more for it.
He was always considered an honorary Weasley
He was part of all the holidays and family gatherings, called all the adults "aunt" and "uncle", and spent most of every summer at the Burrow with the other cousins. Later, he was part of the adult conversations but still made it a point to play with the younger cousins whenever he came to visit. Good times, all.
On the surface, he was almost exactly like his father
He was brave and had a great sense of humor, and had Remus's ability to guess the thoughts of people around him. He was usually compared to his father.
But deep in his heart, he was his mother's son
He was enthusiastic about everything, sweet-natured, and had a bubbly personality. He was also much more fun-loving than Remus had been.
He was a great Quidditch player
Like Harry, he played Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He was never quite as good as his godfather, but he did become the team's captain in his seventh year.
He first thought of becoming an Auror when he was six
His grandmother went shopping and so he went to work with Harry. He loved the bustle of the Auror Office and all the exciting things they did there. For a whole year, all he wanted to play was Auror. He dreamed of becoming one himself.
As he got older and got caught up with school, Quidditch, and his friends, he forgot about his childhood ambition. That is, until his fifth-year careers talks, when his Head of House told him he'd make a fine Auror someday. From that point forward, it became his dream again—and Harry was never prouder of his godson than when he saw that dream come true.
Victoire was his only love
They grew up together and became best friends when she came to Hogwarts, despite the age difference. He had a slight crush on her when he got a little older, but they didn't start dating until right before her seventh year, when he was already in the middle of Auror training. She had just broken up with a French boyfriend and sent him an owl asking him to come to France. He set off straight away to comfort her.
That kiss at King's Cross station was their first one. Victoire was so stunned by it that she jumped on the train and forgot her trunk.
It took them more than ten years to get married, but when they did, it lasted forever.
Well, there you go! Feel free to review if you like this story. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up, but I'll try to make it soon.
